What is your current setup? I use a Gibson Pat Martino Custom or Standard and the Acoustic Image Clarus amp. I recorded Live at Yoshi’s with the black Standard. I recorded the new album, Think Tank, with both. In the studio, I use the Clarus direct, as a preamp, into the board. There’s a direct out on the unit which bypasses effects as well as the Clarus itself, which I use for more authenticity and personal identity.

Do you have a preferred amp?

I mostly use an Acoustic Image Clarus head with a Raezer’s Edge cabinet. I also use Henriksen amps if there’s not a Clarus around. I put all the controls at halfway and control the tone and the volume from the guitar.
